The DGII Series is a line of of products that combine a high rigidity hollow rotary table with an αSTEP absolute encoder AZ series closed loop stepper motor and driver package. It retains the ease of use of a stepper motor, while also allowing for highly accurate positioning of large inertia loads.

Repetitive Positioning Accuracy = ±15 arcsec (±0.004°)
Lost Motion = 2 arcmin (0.033°)
Note: The repetitive positioning accuracy is measured at a constant temperature (normal temperature) under a constant load.
The large diameter hollow hole (through-hole) helps reduce the complexity of wiring and piping, thus simplifying your equipment design.

In addition to the conventional type in which the rotary table shaft and the motor shaft were arranged in parallel (motor vertical mounting), the product lineup also includes types in which the rotary table shaft and the motor shaft are perpendicular (motor horizontal mounting).
Select the type that best suits the installation space for the equipment.
(Example: For standard type with frame size of 85 mm)
Advantages of Motor Horizontal Mounting
The gear-reduction mechanism employs precision gears along with a proprietary adjustment mechanism that eliminates backlash. The repetitive positioning accuracy from a single direction is ±15 sec., while lost motion in a positioning operation from two directions is 2 arc minutes. These characteristics make the DGII series the ideal choice for applications in which accurate positioning is a must.
*DGM60 features Deep-Groove Ball Bearings
The hollow output table is integrated with a high rigidity crossroller bearing*. The structure improves permissible thrust load and moment load while maintaining high torque.
The output table uses deep-groove ball bearings (two pieces) for the 2.36 in. (60 mm) frame size type, and a cross-roller bearing for the 3.35 in. (85 mm), 5.12 in. (130 mm) and 7.87 in. (200 mm) frame size types. As the frame size increases, the permissible moment load also increases but the displacement caused by the moment load decreases.
Equipment tables and arms can be installed directly on the output table. This saves you the hassle and cost of designing an installation mechanism, arranging necessary parts, adjusting the belt tension, etc. when mechanical parts such as belt and pulley are used for installation.
Because it is an absolute system, no home sensor is necessary.
Sensor and wiring costs can be reduced, leading to overall lower system costs.
There is no concern about sensor malfunction, sensor failure, or sensor wire disconnection.
Return-to-home is carried out without any concern over variation in home sensor detection, which can improve home accuracy.
*If no limit sensor is installed, driver software limits are used to prevent operation when a limit is exceeded.
By pressing the switch on the driver surface, home position can be set simply, and the home position can be saved with the sensor. Furthermore, it is possible to set the home position using the data setting software (MEXE02) or the external input signal.
Since return-to-home is possible without the use of a home sensor, return-to-home is carried out at high speed without any concern over sensor sensitivity, which can shorten the machine cycle.
The position information s retained even if the power shuts off during positioning. Furthermore, if the built-in controller type is being used, positioning is restarted without return-to-home when the power is restored after a power outage or an emergency top on the production line.
The sensor is mechanical, thus it doesn't require a battery. Since position information is mechanically managed by the absolute sensor, positioning information can be retained even if there is a power outage or the cable between the motor and driver is disconnected.
Because there is no battery that needs replacement, maintenance time and costs can be reduced.
Because there is no need to secure space for battery replacement, there are no restrictions on the installation location of the driver, improving the flexibility and freedom of the layout design of the control box.
Ordinary batteries self-discharge, thus caution is required for long-term transportation, such as overseas shipping. The motor sensor is battery-free, thus there are no restrictions on the retention of positioning information. This also means that there are no concerns about shipping regulations for batteries when exporting.
Positioning Information is retained in the motor sensor.
By using the AZ Series functions, the hollow rotary actuator's output table coordinates are managed and the following operations become possible.
This is an operation method that drives the equipment in the rotation direction, providing the shortest distance to the target position that has been set. It can reduce the amount of takt time for the equipment.
If there are dangerous or damaging items on the equipment, it is possible to set an area into which the output table cannot be moved.
The parameters necessary to operate the hollow rotary actuator are set at the time of shipment, which contributes to reduce equipment setup time.
All of the initial settings can be changed.
The αSTEP AZD (AC Input) Drivers offers superior high speed performance, high functionality and closed loop control. There are no external sensors to buy as the motor and driver complete the system. Advanced operation and function control is included through our MEXE02 software (free download). The αSTEP AZD (AC Input) Drivers can perform quick positioning operations over a short distance without the need for tuning, while providing smooth performance.
The αSTEP DC Input Drivers offer 24/48 VDC input voltage, high functionality and closed loop control. There are no external sensors to buy as the motor and driver complete the system. The αSTEP AZD-K (DC Input) can perform quick positioning operations over a short distance without the need for tuning, while providing smooth performance.
A multi-axis controller that supports EtherCAT communication.Compatible with the CiA402 drive profile. It can be connected to the AZ Series DC input motors and electric actuators.
2-axis, 3-axis and 4-axis driver connections are available.
These cables are used to connect or extend the distance between the motor and driver.
Required (sold separately).
Use a flexible motor cable if the motor is installed on a moving part or its cable will be flexed.
Small, thin, and lightweight stand-alone rotary encoders with an outer diameter of ϕ30 mm can be installed in tight spaces.
